Using the most expensive model for all of your agentic coding work hasn’t been good practice for a long time. Not unless you have infinite money to spend.

I think this is a case where you don’t understand the use case, not that the marketing department is making mistakes.
They cost the same if you're already at $200/mo
Fable consumes your usage at a higher rate.
If you bought the $200/mo plan and you don’t use it much, using Fable for everything is fine.

Also both are still somewhat bad at UI implementation. Opus more so
